    I have a problem with the jet of PETROMAX 822.
    I tried in various ways to unclog but no success,
    Is there any way to do this without cleaning needle and what is the diameter of the hole?

    Heat it to dull red and quench in cold water. Mostly that will do the trick. For a 200cp lamp the jet hole is 0.17mm or 0.0067". ::Neil::

    Thanks,

    I tried to warm up as you said but it did not work from the first, after that I was put in an ultrasonic bathtub.
    Then I cleaned the hole, probably everything is a little contribute to unclog the jet hole.
